I have been working as senior manager in an organization many years, I expect my staff to work efficiently and effectively.
Well, am I doing the same ? Haha .. to be honest, I some how not live up to the expectation :)
What are the differences between efficiency and effectiveness ?
Efficiency - As an efficient person do thing fast and they are task achiever and get thing done quickly. They can complete project on time and generally they are organised and competent.
Effectiveness - As an effective person, they do right task and project. Even though they are slower but they do the right things.
Many a time, we are rushing to complete a task without looking into the subject matter in detail. In many of my experiences, due to the deadline and work pressure from bosses, we are rushing to get thing done with checking in detail, and ultimately the result is unfavorable or full of errors.
Same happen when we see a problem arising, without checking on the root cause of the problem, we come out with "Solution" that we think it works, but at the end, the result is unsatisfied and end up need to redo or more problem arising from the rush job.
Therefore, being efficiency is insufficient, we must also do think effectively.
I read a articles sharing what is an effectiveness personality :
1) Effective person has goal and they know the reason behind the job.
2) Effective person know how to plan and create a system on how to acheive the goal.
3) Effective person has strong believe system and they believe they can conquer all sort of difficuties.
4) Effective person do not waste time to worry about not successful but they focus in control.
5) Effective person willing to help others.
Finally, Effective person always focus in doing the RIGHT THING. They will pause and recheck their goal / action to ensure their path is moving forward to the right direction.
